Color Page Math for Lift/Gain Operation

PostTue Oct 26, 2021 2:14 am

Hoping someone can help me out with some math.

If I apply 2 serial nodes on the Resolve Colour page - the 1st containing a lift adjustment, and the 2nd containing a gain adjustment (or the other way around), and then compare the image to a single node containing the same lift and gain adjustments using the Primary Wheels, the results don't match. The results are also different than lift/gain done in parallel nodes.

If anyone knows the mathematical formula used in the Resolve colour page for a lift/gain operation using primary wheels, that both take place within one node, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
